I currently own two ruskie SKSs and found a fella that has a several Chinese SKSs. I am assuming the Chinese rifles he is selling are early models because they have the screw on barrel? Is this correct. But what I would really like to know is can you buy replacement parts for the Chinese rifles somewhere here in canada and/or are these parts identical to the Russian parts so that I could interchange them if needed?
 
Russian, Chinese production only now reached USSR 1950-60 level
for collection purposes-Chinese-nice to have though
 
I'm almost certain that parts are interchangeable. Only difference is the stock material and the bayonet shape. I could be wrong. Either way, i have yet to hear of an sks breaking.
 
The Chinese ones shoot just fine. as for parts I have read the Chinese trigger assembly might need some fitting to use on in a Russian rifle. I'd say take them if they are priced reasonably .
 
I don't own a Chinese SKS, so am not sure if parts are interchangeable. What I do know is that when the Russians stopped manufacturing the SKS, they shipped their machinery to China and they started making the SKS. And as Kaskirov mentioned wood for stock and bayonet were changed. I would take careful measurements of replacement parts if used.

The early Chinese have a blade bayonet, latter ones have a spike.
